A thug did $15,000 damage to a female police officer's face. There are likely to be ongoing costs for the officer and taxpayers. The penalty was 200 hours community service.

"AN ICE-ADDICTED thug who left a female police officer needing dental surgery after a sickening assault has been handed a measly 200 hours’ community work.
The decision has enraged the Police Association union, which has attacked the courts for not jailing Ahmed El Lababidi, 26.

In April, he attacked the 29-year-old senior constable — repeatedly punching her in the face — as she was making an arrest at Glenroy, Melbourne.
The Glenroy resident faced multiple charges, including one of assaulting an emergency worker, which carries a mandatory six months’ jail.

However, the charges were dropped after it was argued there were exceptional circumstances in his case due to mental illness, according to Herald Sun reports.."

If mental health problems is used as an excuse, to avoid jail time, it's acceptance should result in a definite, full lifetime in a protective mental prison. This to protect the public, not the criminal.

This should be totally non revocable, as it appears that mental health professionals are the most easily conned people in the country.

That's 'separation of powers' for you. The people we elect to serve our best interests have no power over our pathetic, gutless judiciary.

The female police officer probably copped what she got from the Muslim offender because he would have been upset to be arrested by a female. Something else the multi-culti idiots didn't take into account.

Solution: get rid of female police who cannot defend themselves, and/or get rid of Muslims.

If other workers did the same piss-poor job that our judges and magistrates do they would be sacked.

There may be another reason here is his name "Ahmed El Lababidi, 26YO"

Hmmm...
In a nation that prides itself on the ideology of multiculturalism, instances such as this must be written off as 'cultural enrichment'...

If that was a white Australian male, I bet he'd have gotten that mandatory 6 mths jail + another 18 mths for the female cops face.
If it was a mum who killed her own child she'd probably get off to.

You almost have to wonder whether or not its a fact now that identity politics and leniency towards refugees and minority groups has officially been established into our courthouses
